I had another unproductive weekend. I intended to do file
my taxes, but I still haven't quite done that. I'll get
that done real soon though. I did some thinking on the
Compressed VM design project I have in 6.033. I should
probably write my report soon.

I did endup going to Bad
Taste this Saturday night. Really quite good.

I also installed XFree
4.0 today. With a little bit of hacking, I managed to
get the Xvideo extension to work with Video4Linux.
It's really cool seeing video clipped cleanly around xeyes.

It's kinda boring today. I was going to clean my room
and
organize
a bunch of things, but my gf being asleep all day has made
that
goal impossible sofar. I tested the 80min CDR blanks I got
from
Zones.com earlier in the
week. Initially i had a failure but the second one burnt
nicely. I
attributed the failure to random error. For less than $30 i
got this
50 cdr spindle. Quite nice.

I'm going to see Run
Lola Run tonight at LSC. Good
movie, I'm looking forward to seeing it again tonight.

Spent much of the day in a half awake, but what else is
new. I'm
pretty sure I passed a test this morning, atleast I remember
making
it to the test, so that's atleast half the battle I
suppose.

I became slightly bored this afternoon and wrote a tiny
webserver as an exercise, it works quite well
actually.

I've also been playing this evening with GnuPG. I decided my
1024bit
key wasn't really good enough, so I revoked it. I've been
playing
with larger keys and have found that 4096bit keys are
SLOW. It took 37 minutes to generate a keypair on a
p2-233 and took roughly 20 seconds to send an encrypted
email to myself. I'm generating somewhat smaller keys now.
I'll probably endup settling on a 2048 bit key, but 3072
might be speedy enough for my taste.
